What’s that you say? You noticed my watch, and now you’d like to ask me what time it is? Well…

It’s prime time!

Let’s start by applying a base for our powder eyeshadows. How about creamy bronze MAC Paint Pot in Indianwood? We’ll apply that all over our lids with a finger and buff it out with a fluffy domed brush like the MAC 217.

That should really intensify the colors of the powder eyeshadows we’re about to layer on top.

The shape of things to come

Next, let’s start giving some shape to our look by taking that same 217 brush (or one like it) and applying MAC Eyeshadow in Saddle, a matte golden orangey brown, from our lash line to just beneath our brow bone.

Try to concentrate more of the color closer to your lashes and lower lids.

Did I mention dimension?

Next, load a flat eyeshadow brush like the MAC 239 with a shimmery reddish brown-bronze eyeshadow. I think I’ll use MAC Mulch…

Pat that on the outer half of your lids (the side closer to your ear), and blend out the edges with your blending brush.

The definition of soft

Since we’re aiming for wearable with this look, let’s add a soft, blended eyeliner by layering gray eyeshadow and black gel liner along our upper lash lines to define the eyes.

For that, we’ll start by applying a shimmery gray eyeshadow along our upper lash lines (maybe MAC Eyeshadow in Print?) with an angled eye brush like the MAC 266. Then, blur the edge with the flat eyeshadow brush you used a minute ago (in my case, the 239).

Now, we could stop right here, but if you want even more/better definition, you could take the same pointed eyeliner brush we already used, and your black gel liner, and line your upper and lower water lines, too.

That’s what I usually do.

Do you know the way to Brighton/brighten?

Almost there! To brighten the look a bit, use a paper town to quickly clean your MAC 239, load it with a bronze eyeshadow like MAC Woodwinked, and run it along your lower lash lines.

Welcome to the finals!

Good job. 🙂 Now I think I’ll fill in my brows and apply a little mascara to my upper and lower lashes.

Love this look! I think I need to buy MAC Woodwinked and Mulch. They seem like great neutrals and great additions to my collection. Sometimes I like a neutral look too not using 10 different crazy colors.
